Introduction. 

The people of Washington are blazing the way for a new empire. Within their 
domain are vast resources that need but the touch of industry to provide comforts and 
luxuries for a great commonwealth. 

To help develop these resources and increase the pay rolls of our city and state is 
the ambition of The Manufacturers’ Association. It is pledged: 

To advertise goods made in this city and state, and have its members practise 
what they preach when buying for themselves. 

To impress on buyers the advisability of giving home products a trial. 

To secure equitable freight rates for its members and those who deal with them. 

To secure fire insurance at reasonable cost and cooperate with insurance com* 
panics in the improvement of risks. 

To conserve the business interests of its members and alt manufacturers of the 
state. 

Manufacturers outside this organization are requested to assist in the work outlined 
above and show their faith by becoming members. From the public in general is solicited 
such patronage as can be given the industries of our city and state.
